Motherboard standoff not aligned

The big ring-shaped trace around the hole is just a ground field, so it shouldn't cause any immediate issues.
I'd back all the motherboard standoff screws off a little bit and make sure all of the standoffs are in their holes properly. There's a chance the center hole on your case and motherboard are both slightly out of spec, but I think that's unlikely.
If you can't get it to line up, and if it will help you sleep at night, take the motherboard out and remove that standoff. As long as you're careful connecting things to the motherboard in that area, it should be okay. Stick something non-conductive like a rubber chair foot in there if you want to give the board a little more support in that area.
